Two More Foals Make Seven So Far

First, I was told some incorrect information.  We were missing one mare from the Spring Round-Up - Cody's Little Jigsaw Puzzle (aka Jigsaw) was seen in a hugely pregnant state on Wednesday, April 10.  She was not brought in, and her buy back people are hoping desperately, as we all are, that she separated herself to foal, and just hasn't rejoined her herd.  We're all keeping our fingers crossed and hoping to see her soon.
  Sunday afternoon a hiker on the CNWR saw that Destiny had a new foal.  The hiker couldn't get photos, but the DSC Photography crew was lucky enough to get a few distant snapshots of the baby.  It's definitely a pinto; the mom is definitely Destiny Feathering Spirit, so the sire is Puzzle (aka Archer's Gambit).
  This morning, Miracle's Natural Beauty was found with a solid buckskin colt at her side.  The sire is Tornado's Legacy.
   Also, after much thought, the veterinarians decided that Smooch, the daughter of the late Butterfly Kisses, wasn't looking the way she should, so she has been trailered over to the Carnival Grounds on Chincoteague for some TLC and extra feed.  She has joined Ajax, Oreo, Treasure and  Star; while Sonny's Legacy and her Riptide colt are kept separate.
  Each of the seven foals born so far have a different sire - so now I'm looking for foals from Wild Thing, Ace, Maverick, Ajax, Neptune and Ken.  I'm pretty sure that Rainbow Warrior hasn't sired any babies, and neither Beach Boy (aka Saltwater Renegade), Henry's Hidalgo, nor CLG ToMorrow's Tidewater Twist have bred any mares successfully.
